Integration of novel fibers in polarization maintaining fiber optical amplifiers

光纤激光器和放大器正准备取代固态激光器，固态激光器本身就取代了气体激光器。这是由于光纤激光器的优点，如设计更简单/紧凑，灵活的功率传输，高光束质量，高功率和可靠性。QGlex Inc.是一家专门为电信、材料加工、标记系统和传感器系统行业的客户设计、开发和制造高功率光纤激光器和放大器的高科技公司。为了具有竞争力，保持市场领先地位，并适应不断变化的客户需求，QGLex Inc.必须发展产品供应和品种。QGLex已开始与阿尔冈昆的团队合作，开发和制作一系列新型高功率、偏振保持(PM)光纤放大器和激光器的原型。这项任务需要开发高效的方法/技术，将各种新型PM(双包层、微结构等)光纤拼接和集成到公司的光纤设备中。这一研发项目将促进新系列高功率PM光纤激光器和放大器的开发和商业化，从而加强公司作为该领域创新和市场领先者的地位。

Fiber lasers and amplifiers are poised to replace solid-state lasers which by themselves supplanted gas lasers. This is due to fiber lasers advantages such as simpler design/compact size, flexible power delivery, high optical beam quality, high power and reliability. QGlex Inc. is a high tech company specializing in design, development and manufacturing of high power fiber lasers and amplifiers for clients in telecommunication, material processing, marking systems and sensor systems industries. In order to be competitive, keep ahead of the market and adapt to changing client needs QGLex Inc must evolve product offerings and variety. QGLex has initiated cooperation with the team at Algonquin to develop and prototype a family of novel high power, polarization maintaining (PM) fiber optical amplifiers and lasers. This task requires, among others, developing efficient method/technique for splicing and integrating a variety of novel PM (double clad, micro structured etc) fibers into the company's fiber optical devices. This R&D project will faciliate the development and commercialization of new family of high power PM fiber lasers and amplifiers resulting in strengthening the company's position as an innovation and market leader in that field.
